Was just looking at your car on instagram this morning. I'm excited to see it all together and painted!

I'm the only person on S2ki who doesn't follow you on IG, so I await further updates to this thread.

Testing the new wheels out. I'll post the mounted Bridgestone RE-11 on them pretty soon.

This thread has some catching up to do with IG. I was wondering how I knew the car, then I realized, this is the crazy bastard who cut up an ASM carbon duckbill. Great job, ready to see the rest of your updates as well.

Nailed it hahaha. It's been tough making the connection between s2ki and IG. I should change my username on here. I super happy with the cuts I made on the ASM duckbill btw, they came out perfect. I'll post pics soon.

Here's a shot with the tires mounted and wheels installed on the car. I think the Bronze looks perfect on the NFR



I had a bunch of sound deadening material I purchased with the intention of installing it on my FR-S. Never really got around to it and ended up selling the car. I think the 30-40 lbs added in doing this is worth it to me. The car is much quieter over stock and the sound quality for my future sound system build is great. I did the floor pans and doors.



I then proceeded to purchase the HKS 75mm single exhaust. Initially I loved the sound. It was much louder and throatier than the OEM exhaust. However, after driving even with a test pipe, I could no longer stand the drone this exhaust produced. I don't understand how many people on the forum say this exhaust does not drone. It is very bad from 3800-4300 RPM which is exactly where you are in the rev range when cruising at highway speeds.

Next up was changing the rear bumper to an AP1 rear with a Heeltoe single exhaust cap. My painter did an excellent job with the color match. He even matched the orange peel to an OEM finish.
